THE ROSE 20TH ANNUAL SHRIMP BOIL BRINGS IN A RECORD $85,000 FOR HOUSTON AREA WOMEN
More than 800 people attended Th Rose 20th Annual Shrimp Boil on August 8, raising a record $85,000 for The Rose, Houston’s leading non-profit breast cancer organization. Money from the Shrimp Boil will support The Rose’s Empower Her® Sponsorship Program which provides breast cancer detection services to those who cannot afford the costs of these potentially life saving procedures.
“We are so pleased that our community came out again to support The Rose in a big way,” said Kristi Brown, The Rose Special Events Coordinator. “With help from The Rose staff and businesses within the community, the live and silent auctions also set new records. This money will help save many women’s lives. Who could ask for more?”
This year, the Lite House Cooking Team, led by Eric Meeker, prepared all the shrimp, potatoes and corn for the event.
Brown was elated that more than 70 volunteers came out to help make the event a success, including groups and individuals who provided desserts and helped staff the beverage stations.
“Volunteers make this event a success every year,” Brown said. “I want to thank every single person who donated time, talent, and goods and services making this year’s Shrimp Boil the best we’ve had.”
The Grateful Geezers kept guests dancing from the moment the doors opened and the ever-favorite auctioneer Bear Hebert cajoled and cheered folks into live auction bids that wowed everyone and brought in an astonishing $14,275.
Brown also thanked members of the Shrimp Boil Planning Committee for all their hard work. Committee members were: Amy Rigsby, Brahana Howard, Christy Owen, Dessa Lambert, D'Etta Casto-DeLeon, Helen Perry, Janet Sadler, Jennifer Pruiett, Judy pareya, Karen Rigby, Kristi Brown, Marnie Morrison, Pam Lyle, Shirley Terry-Lopez and Suzanne Fisbeck.
